Question

Mention any three pairs of antagonist muscles and their function

Answer 1

Answer:

As one muscle contracts, the other relaxes. An example of an antagonistic pair is the biceps and triceps; to contract, the triceps relaxes while the biceps contracts to lift the arm. ... Also, sometimes during a joint action controlled by an agonist muscle, the antagonist will be slightly activated, naturally.

Answer 2

$<b>$Muscles are described using unique anatomical terminology according to their actions and structure.

Antagonist and agonist muscles often occur in pairs, called antagonistic pairs. As one muscle contracts, the other relaxes. An example of an antagonistic pair is the biceps and triceps; to contract, the triceps relaxes while the biceps contracts to lift the arm.

There are over 600 skeletal muscles in the human body! Most of these muscles function in "antagonistic pairs", which means that when one muscles contracts (shortens), the other in the pair relaxes with careful control to allow elongation (stretching).
